Jonathan Irwin on Gardasil in Ireland

People that see me speaking about Gardasil would actually believe that I’m not hysteric and I’m not a scaremonger. I’ve worked with parents in great extremes and I’ve seen the way they’ve been treated by the Health Service in Ireland. So, I’m fairly well attuned to what I see happening now over Gardasil. I’m not anti-vaccine at all. But I am just worried, in the last 20 years, seems to be lots of problems coming up, and I’m obviously involved in Gardasil but it was just shocking management by our Health Services to allow this to happen. [My daughter] was vaccinated, I think, four years ago when she was 13 or 14, and we just got a call from the school that she was at at that time just to say that this was a national vaccination program and would we agree to it, and we put it off for a little while but then we said yes. So we said yes.
